Abstract

Within a theoretical framework for rehabilitation that distinguishes between automatic and controlled processes, this article reviews basic science research and addresses the following issues: What cognitive abilities remain relatively intact after severe traumatic brain injury, and how can we incorporate intact skills into rehabilitative techniques? The reviewed research indicates that individuals with severe traumatic brain injury (a) generally perform similar to controls on cognitive tasks (or task components) that require automatic and implicit processes as opposed to consciously controlled processes; (b) can learn through implicit learning mechanisms; and (c) can acquire and use automatic processes in complex, cognitive task performance.
